A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
I still would.
not much mind boggling. if u can do facetracking with webcam on laptop, why can can you do this with little more resources.
This motion tracking software works just about as well as the software I used for a company that does the virtual first downlines in football. You would be amazed at how quickly you can set 1 area to track on and as long as there are no swift camera moves and no major lighting changes it works like a charm. Though the equipment I used had 3 computers working together to accomplish this in realtime. This kind of thing would be a huge addition to the average editors toolbox. I can't wait to use this at home.
WE DANCED HERE LAST NIGHT????
WHERE WAS THE STAGE???
YOU WERE HOTTER LAST NIGHT!
Ooooooh if only Adobe showed Linux a little love I wouldent have to use WINE when they finally, if they finally, release this in a suite.
Oh GOD YES!
Its the single biggest reason I am not able to use ubuntu boot on my desktop regularly.
Download link or it didn't happen.
The comic in me hopes you were joking. You know, torrent humour.
The cynic in my thinks you were serious.
Which is it?
I believe the correct terminology is "Which is it /b/?"
Does the boat make it under the bridge?
LMFAO, that's exactly what I was thinking.
he copied the scrolling thing from someone else, but his is better cause the other guy needed a path to be predrawn for the video and for the video, it couldn't generate on its own, but to be fair he didn't work for a big name like Adobe
The graffiti effect is similar to that of ZunaVision: http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/11/29/zunavision-lets-you-place-images-and-videos-inside-your-videos/
Im suprised im the first post to mention:
PYTHON!
On Tiger and xp..
You can already play around with something like this. They call it the Direct Manipulation Video Player.

did anyone else notice the irony of him using the iPhone as the example
The technology is there for years, not so fresh like you say it is.
This appears to be an extension to work done independently by people at Apple and the University of Toronto:

The work shown here is much more advanced, and very cool, so I don't mean to detract from it. Nevertheless it helps to understand where it came from.
After Effects 64bit please... its the most memory entensive app out there and the top is 3gb.
They say it's in the pipeline, but it might be one of those pipelines in afghanistan or iraq or siberia I fear :/

Nothing surprising really. It has been done atleast 12 years before by some small software company. I may even have the software lying somewhere.
It just that Adobe does it and people get to know.
Many small MM companies have done many interesting work before, but did not have Adobe's financial clout to survive.
[ I have huge respect for Adobe.]
But just don't go wild with excitement.
Hehe, the possibilities.
OMG, make porn do what you want when you want!
Who needs a cam girl anymore?
I do.
ok now this is something that I really want.Way to go adobe!
We've just walked into a new era of visual effects in films man... imagine what editors and directors could do with this!
If an actor was misplaced in a scene you can move em to match em with the rest of the footage... during editing you can keep continuity to the very last frame of your choice without having to worry about the other things in the scene cuz you can essentially freeze them...
This is so cool!

Did u check Elastic Reality ?
As is said in the video after a while, this stuff is pretty old now (although in the beginning the guy tries to claim it's new) and it has been used in almost all movies for at least the last 5 years, and almost all commercials too.
perfect, now i can blurr out the titties in my "home vids" ;-)
Why the hell would you do that?

Try Elastic Reality
Nobody a bit annoyed about how you can trust ANYTHING anymore? Nothing you hear or see on video and in images and on soundrecordings is real, plus it's now for some reason accepted and taught to fake stuff for 'documentaries' too, so once even homemovies are fakeable so easily by even the ignorant.. the next generation will have grown up in a big (or even bigger) vat of bullshit with no way to even remotely check what's real.
Chris is cute
Kid in the screenshot @ 3:15: Okay guys, laughing at my XXL yellow shirt is getting old now.
Is that Hippie Glenn in 1:25??
Is it possible R Kelly had access to an early beta? I mean did he just copy and paste his face on to that..... wait I mean he is not guilty right?
Very cool. I could use this feature for educational videos.
Finally. This is easily 30% of my workload. I would embrace anything that made motion matching less fiddly. Even if it is from Adobe! Just kidding my dark overlord, I kiss your acrid, blackened feet. Do not smite me...
that is sick! makes motion tracking so much easier
I guess this is a rip of what Microsoft has been doing only not quite as good.

Oh man, I'm going to have to construct many additional pylons just to have enough energy to run this thing at full speed on my computer...
Seems very limited!
Microsoft did it first...

Motion tracking not just in shaek. But Apple Motion has had it for the past 2 years as well.
first it was photo shop, then it was video shop
This is brilliant, a great companion to Augmented Reality.
